An interview that asks me to execute 3rd party code on my machine is an instant no from me. They can give me a dataset in plain text and ask me to do something with it in a certain language, but running a whole code base is sketch as hell.
I mean… absolutely fucking not on my baremetal. But at the same time, I wouldn’t really care about executing it in an appropriately sandboxed VM or container. And maybe that’s part of the test.
Why wouldn’t you be concerned about VM or container escapes?
I wonder if the language selection is similar to how they use bad grammar specifically to filter out people smart enough to see bad grammar as a red flag when it’s supposed to be a professional communication.
